New Jersey has joined a consortium of ten Northeast states in signing an MOU establishing a framework for coordinated activities aimed at improving interregional transmission planning and development for grid reliability enhancement.

Last year, a group of these states led a request to the U.S. Department of Energy to convene a multi-state initiative, the Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission, to increase the flow of electricity between three different planning regions in the Northeast and assess offshore wind infrastructure needs and solutions.

The MOU has been signed by New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.

“Now more than ever, our electric grid serves as the foundation from which we will continue to build our clean energy future,” says Christine Guhl-Sadovy, New Jersey Board of Public Utilities president.

“As we continue to grow our burgeoning offshore wind industry – while capitalizing on its significant environmental and economic benefits – we will also continue to collaborate with our regional partners to build a transmission network that is increasingly more reliable and resilient.”

What is said here about Pete Hegseth is clearly true.

But keep in mind that he’s fiercely loyal to Donald Trump, and Trump couldn’t possibly care what happens to the United States, as long as he can stay out of prison and enrich himself and his family.

Does Clean Energy Reduce Your Energy Bills?

Here’s an article that outlines how the EU has lowered energy prices via its investment in renewables.

In truth, the economics of all this is complicated.  In most of the world, there are subsidies for clean energy, just as there are subsidies for Big Oil.  If you want to remove the environmental regulations of coal-fired power plants and let them make fortunes by turning our atmosphere into their own private sewers, you can probably make coal-powered energy very inexpensive.

One thing is clear though, looking through all this complexity: the countries whose people actually care about the future of life on Earth are aggressively decarbonizing their energy and transportation sectors, and there is a great deal to be said for this.

In the United States, we’re rapidly going in the other direction.  Shame on us.

Another Concept in Small Wind

Published

on

These guys have an innovation in small wind: their turbine “furls up” in dangerously high wind conditions, making it “perfect for your backyard.” Check out this video. The competition has to shut down to avoid having their product destroyed in such circumstances.

Think about this for a second.  How often do you have hurricane-force winds blowing through your backyard?  What if it’s a tornado?  (It’s a twister! It’s a twister!) What would be the cost to you if your mini-turbine actually did have to shut down a few hours each year?

These guys are looking for investors.  If their pitch resonates with you, jump on in, by all means.
